repunte de marea


Explanation:
The correct term for the period in which there is minimal tidal movement (briefly at high water and low water) is repunte de la marea. There are many reliable references to this, my own being the cynical, alcoholic gaze of my instructor, an old marina Mercante skipper, as he delivered the day's lesson on sicigias y cuadraturas, amplitudes, sondas negativas y la incapacidad de la juventud de hoy en día, which I doubt was on the curriculum but was in fact his favourite subject.
